SHILLONG: The State Home department officials would be holding a meeting on Thursday to discuss ways and means to rehabilitate cadres of the breakaway faction of ANVC, the ANVC-B.
Sources informed that the Government is contemplating to rehabilitate the cadres of the faction since it was not brought under the ambit of the draft peace pact which was signed in January 2013.
To a query, the sources informed that ANVC (B) leaders were unlikely to attend this meeting.
Earlier, ANVC-B leader Doang D Shira in a statement on Monday said, “Without an official communication, the outfit’s leaders feel that it unsafe to move around as leaders of the organisation have been arrested without any rhyme or reason in the past.”
According to him, the outfit’s leaders will attend the meeting only if there is an official communication.
It may be mentioned that a ceasefire agreement was signed with ANVC way back in 2004, but the State Government failed to ink any ceasefire agreement with the breakaway group ANVC-B though a draft peace pact was signed by the Government with the parent body in January, 2013.
